DeTar Goes Pink for Breast Cancer Awareness with Two Events

Every October, the color pink takes over. It’s a reminder of the battles fought, the lives lost, and the strength of survivors. Here in Victoria, DeTar is turning that sea of pink into real support for local cancer patients.

If you’ve ever spotted a pink fire truck, ambulance, or even a pink Crown Vic cruising around town, you’ve seen Crossroads Guardians of Hope in action. Their vehicles have become rolling memorials; cancer survivors, families, and friends grab Sharpies and cover them in names, messages, and memories.

How a simple signature helped local survivor.

For Stephanie Schuckenbrock, a breast cancer survivor and DeTar’s Director of Orthopedics and Bariatrics, signing that truck was a big deal. “That was when I finally recognized myself as a survivor,” Schuckenbrock said.
